Now is the time to look over
the spring seed catalogs to see

whatchamacallits would have
looked like if they had ever
come up.
Claudio Ventura is returning
to regular highschool classes
next Monday. His activities are
almost what they were before
his accident and his doctor
now reports that his eyesight is
safe. 1 find it very interesting
to talk to our AFS students
and
learn
how
their
impressions o f America have
changed following a year here.
I hope within the next week or
so to have the chance to talk
with Claudio and then share his
impressions with you.
Congratulations to Dick and
Ada Arnett who are celebrating
their 60th weading anniversary
on April 19th!

Music Festival held at Lewis &
Clark College March 29th, and
were recommended for the
state competions. Although
not making the state team,
they deserve recognition for
the honors received. Others
receiving recognition included
Robbie Knoll, Mary Whitlock,
Carolyn
Haneberg,
Kathy
Wolfe, and three Sandy groups:
The Pionaires, Mixed Quartet
and Sophomore Octet.

I .earned last week that Don
Mathes, the new barber in
Chuck Hayes’ "La Casa De
Carlas” is a brother to Faye
Beach.
Following mention o f Ed
Hoffman a couple o f weeks
ago, I decided to find out
where Ed, a 1960 SUHS
graduate, is now working and
what he is doing. His name
recently made headlines in the
n a tio n a l
" S ales-M in d er”
published by General Mills. In
the February 1969 issue under
a headline stating “ Feature
Display Programs Lead to Sales
Honors”, Ed is one o f the four
men across the nation who
won honors as “Salesman of
the Month”.
The inscription on the Silver
Cup Ed received as Western
Zone’s Salesman o f the Month
for January 1969 reads: “The
Olympic Marathon 1968-1969.
Sperry Salesmen o f the Month
January 1969 - Ed Hoffman.”
This is the second time within
10 months that Ed has been
selected as Salesman o f the
Month; he received a plaque in
April o f 1968. Success stories
o f Sandy Alumni are always
good news.
The French guillotine cut
off a lot o f heads but not
nearly as many as America’s
amateur photographers!
Due to a class at Mt. Hood
Community College, I was
unable to attend the Teen
Center meeting held last week
in the grade school cafetorium
but do want to express my
interest in their project. There
is a need for a place for
teenagers to go and something
for them to do here in Sandy.
I have talked and listened to
many Sandy teenagers since
my return to Sandy four years
ago. A couple of years ago a
conversation with a 19-year-old
youth
on
probation was
particularly
enlightening.
I
asked him “Why do kids steal?
When is the decision made?
What motivates them in this
direction?”
He replied with a situation:
“What if you only had 25 or
30 cents in your pocket,
nothing much to do, and no
where to go but a local
drivein...you buy cokes or
coffee and sit with your friends
and talk. You can’t buy too
many cokes and coffee with 25
cents, but you still sit and talk.
Pretty soon you run out of
things to talk about, but don’t
have any money to go
anywhere and most o f the kids
have left.
One of your buddies has a
car with some gasoline in it.
After a lull in the conversation
- there’s nothing much else to
talk about, one o f the group
says “Why don’t we go steal
hubcaps?” What would you
do?” more
He continued on his
narration: “Well, you all look
at each other and nobody does
anything for awhile and then
one o f the group gets up...and
without a word you all get up
and follow him and you go
steal hubcaps.”
I posed
the
question:
“Meaning that no one really
wants to steal hubcaps?”
He nodded this was true.
“Then,” I ventured further,
“What if you had said ‘But I
don’t want to steal hubcaps’?”
Would all o f you remain
there?”
He thought and said “I don’t
know—but nobody wants to be
left alone...everyone needs to
belong to a group.”
This didn’t com e from a
psychology book - this came
from the mouth o f a local
youngster who was then facing
a break and-entering
charge
and it wasn’t his first offence...
This particular youth was not
in school so didn’t have school
functions
to
attend...he
roamed the streets looking for
excitement. Suprising to many
may come the fact that there
are over a hundred parolees
and probationers in the Sandy
area. We can turn our heads
and close our ears and say
there is no crime problem here
or we can meet the problem
face-on and
try defensive
prevention tactics.
I have accompanied local
teenagers to Farrell’s Ice Cream
parlors who have commented
that “they” didn’t realize you
could have so much fun
without drinking.” I am aware
o f the school dropouts roaming
the streets, the company these
young teenagers turn to for
advice, and the paths too many
o f our young people get started
on as one incident leads to
another to another to another,

and many paths lead to the
county jails or correctional
institutions.
I’ve listened and find that
most young people can be
directed if they feel you are
interested in them - many are
only looking for a steering
wheel to guide them. If we had
a teen center, you might not
hear
the
bored
youth
sugggesting hub-cap stealing.
Maybe he would be having fun
and enjoying the privileges o f a
“place to go”, like a teen
center.
The problem is here whether
we wish to see it or not -- give
the problem some thought,
followed
by
constructive
action
to
eliminate
the
problem.
While on this topic -
c o m m u n ic a tio n
and
understanding are two-way
streets. They are not just
talking - but listening also...all
interested parties should keep
this in mind, in order to gain
the best possible solutions.
“Truth is stranger than
fiction, because fiction has to
stick to what you can make
people believe is the truth.”
Brief notes from around
Sandy High: “Some Enchanted
Evening” is the theme for this
year’s
Junior-Senior
Prom
scheduled for May 3... The
theme for tomorrow night’s
dance makrking the end of
Senior Week will be “Year of
the Rabbit - 1951” as this was
the year most seniors were
born in - the idea is taken from
the Chinese Zodiac...Sandy’s
Tennis team consists o f Karen
Hall, Dorothy Strong, Karen
Hewitt, Starla Oldenkamp,
Sandy Strong, Linda Cain, Pat
Carey, Susan Boitano, Sherrie
Engraf, Becky Jones, Rose
